Athens Music Week (AMW) is a music marathon to celebrate cultural and creative diversity, a week when Music becomes the heartbeat of the city, and Athens shines a light on the Greek music scene. Comprising an International Conference and a Festival of live music events, AMW envisions to connect Eastern & Western European music markets with those of the Middle East and beyond!
Ilias Doumanis -drummer, composer, mixed-media practitioner- explores systematically, through composition and orchestration, the combination of drumming with technology.
Aggeliki Toubanaki -vocalist, vocal educator, PhD, sound experimentalist- studies and teaches the mechanism of voice and searches the «extended vocal techniques», through her musical projects and the interdisciplinary process.
In February 2014, they create the unique Nu Jazz “Drums & Voice Jazztronica Duet”, using electronic media and programs and real time loops; they expand the sound of drums and voice, deconstruct musical forms, design a versatile sound polysemy, creating a synesthetic performative universe.
This year they were selected to take part in the International Conference and Festival “Showcases” in the context of Athens Music Week, as one of the Greek participations, presenting original compositions from their upcoming debut album.
